The short story, “The Sandwich Factory” is written by Jason Kennedy in 2007. The story is about a recently employed worker on a sandwich factory in 1994. During...

Factory Farming
Factory farming involves raising livestock in a small, confined area on a large scale for the purpose of supplying food for human consumption. Hens, for example, are crammed into cages that are housed in large sheds where there is very little light, so that they can keep laying eggs. This makes it cheaper for farmers, since they don’t have to spend as much time looking after the welfare of their livestock. There are certainly ethical questions. It could be argued that factory farming...

Many people might not be aware of what really happens infactory farms, or if they do, they tend to turn a blind eye towards it.

Factory Farming: Americas Greatest Mistake
Factory farming by definition is the practice of raising livestock in confinement at high stocking density. Animals are born within the farm which is typically a warehouse, and they may never see the light of day. They are simply another animal growing in a factory farm and making their way to your dinner table. By definition factory farming does not sound that bad, and makes sense seeing as the demand for low cost meat is at an all time...

Factory Farming
Factory Farming began in the 1920’s. It began because demand for meat, milk, eggs and other animal products increased. The more factory farmers produced, the more money they made, which is the essence of the process. They developed techniques to the point where animals didn’t need to be raised outside, which saved cost by keeping them in smaller places. Because conditions were filthy, disease began to spread among animals. This led to large amounts of...

In America, factory farming looks like the best solution for food distribution due to the high demands for meats, dairy, eggs, fruits, and vegetables. However, if one was to dig deeper it would reveal that many people do not really know what is going on behind the scenes and the cheaper cost hardly justifies the industry’s actions. Factory farming is unethical and the food produced is definitely not the healthiest for our society.
Our society is showered with happy animals living on a farm...
